When double clicking to open a volume from the Truycrypt gui, it calls nautilus. Nautilus may not be installed on your system or having it running alongside caja is yuck. There is no easy way to configure which file manager to be used in the preferences.

Since caja and nautilus have similar command line arguments a simple symbolic link is possible

Cause:
Not entirely sure. Related to gthumb-import.desktop, which has the text “Import with gThumb” which is in /usr/share/applications/gthumb-import.desktop
Nothing in mateconf-editor to tweak as well. Bad coding…
Uninstalling gthumb and any other image program got rid of the banner, but that is not desirable.

Had a similar problem with the Downloads directory, same stupid blue banner again, “Personal File Sharing”, “You can receive files over Bluetooth into this folder”.
This time I uninstalled the bluetooth sharing agent:
mate-user-share
and did another pkill caja

Basically you need to put a custom location place in caja (Places Shortcut), like Downloads, Pictures….

This works for the caja file manager and translates to file manager dialogues like ‘save as’ in Firefox, pluma, whatever.

The this example, I am going to create a places shortcut for home/user/Downloads

Open caja and make sure that the places sidebar is visible. Navigate to the subfolder that you need to create the places shortcut for, i.e home/user/

Here is the simple trick, it is done graphically, by dragging and dropping the folder of choice into the places sidebar BELOW the line at the bottom of the default places that came with the system. So drag Downloads across and MAKE SURE that the folder is not being redirected into another partition or the trash. Below that line.

in about:config
create two bolean strings and set both to TRUEnetwork.protocol-handler.expose.filenetwork.protocol-handler.external.file
Create a string and add ‘caja’ to thisnetwork.protocol-handler.app.file
